Sweet decay rises from the fallen apples that lie condemned under your hammock, mingling with the dying fall of a neighbour's lawn mower, invading your dreams.


The wine glass at your side contains one small fly, scrambling for safety up the sticky cliff-face. The sun's warmth fights a losing battle with the overhanging chestnut tree and you shiver involuntarily, but only once.


The golden-faced youth of your dream turns into a pock-marked veteran, his complexion bruised and pitted. You realise you are staring at your reflection.

Was it?


It wasn't.


The image of the youth turning into an old man is conjured, within the dream, by the smell and sounds of a late summer's evening. The author inexpertly attempts to portray the experience one can have in a dream of watching one's own life.


Give the author a break, he is in a meeting, "taking notes".

Where's our resident Poet Maxie now?


Still living the dream?


Having a dream within a dream?


Arise from your lazy slumber oh! ever so "polite and funny" one.


Its nearly 5.30AM and there's a big,wide World out there to explore, so what are you doing now?


Dreaming The Dream?

It is glorious weather in the South West, unbroken blue sky and set fair for the village cricket this afternoon.


I am torn between a lazy day with a good book and the sound of leather on willow or a trip to West Bay for a fish and chips, this late in the season the beach will be locals only.

    • In my experience there is no fool proof solution to this with any company. Delivery drivers are people and people will make mistakes, cut corners, mis-understand instructions or simply not read them.  I've left instructions for parcels with just about every single company out there and at some point they've all screwed up.  I think the security camera is the best deterrent for thieves. In this case, my ring door bell spooked them off. I've just installed warning signs at my safe space to make it even clearer that they're being recorded. In the case that mistakes do still happen by the couriers, at least I know about it on the camera and can try to alert a neighbour if I'm not home.  Its sad that we have to turn our homes into fort knox with cameras but that's the world we live in. 
    • Ultimately unacceptable behaviour at many schools of all types was exposed by Everyone Invited, not just at Dulwich College. 
    • Come now, you have seen the constant threads concerning poor post and deliveries since the Dulwich office closed and merged with Peckham  Surly that alone tells you how it would compare to now as the whole system was way more efficient.  But despite the complaints and warnings here we are!!
    • Surely that would just make the system even more complicated?
